I'm a little confused about the proxy settings. I have Windows 8.1 so the "use spybot proxy" setting is greyed out and I understand that this is because IE is a metro app. But why does the Internet Protection show as full when the spybot proxy is not able to be used? Should the Internet Protection not show as basic?
I have Firefox and I have internet access ok when I put in IP 127.0.0.1 and port 21320 into the Firefox connection settings. Am I using the spybot proxy server when I use firefox to access the internet? The Internet Protection status shows as full even before I have changed Firefox to use a manual proxy configuration.

Thank you.
